Deception Reigns Uncertain By SHIRLEY PARSONS Staff Writer fin this world of ordinary peo ple" . . . begin the lyrics from a popular song of a few years ago. Ordinary. In life comes the uninteresting, the ordinary and rarely the extraordinary. In a modern world uncertainty is everywhere. Indecision abounds, advice is available in abundant quantities. There are those who add to the existing chaotic world. Those who would attempt to convince the young thinker that his ideas are false, not in tune with the times, too radical, or too conservative. Change is nec essary, they insist. Change the Ideas, the convictions bred into the individual by a lifetime of a learning osmosis. Never Give In Winston Churchill once gave advice which was called a watch word for a time of danger: "Never give in! Never give in! Never, never, never, never-in anything great or small, large or petty-never give in except to ~~&to (Author of "I Wo Lome TV OR The academic world has ma< television-a few lectures, a fei tions-but colleges have not y capacity to dramatise, to amus the imagination.

Sumte bee ty Can Desi convictions of honor and good sense.', Never give in. Uncertainty can destroy man. It can-and often does- toss him on a restless, ,uncertain sea, in which he is eventually certain of nothing, even that he exists. Matthew Arnold spoke of this as he described himself, "Weary of myself and sick of asking what I am and what I ought to be." New Ideas Sometimes the new ideas are intriguing, interesting. But so is communism-in theory alone. Looks and appearances deceive And the things most attractive are often the least desirable, while the least attractive choice, like the homely girl, sometimes proves most rewarding. Change is possible. But It is a transaction-a transaction of principles, beliefs, attitudes, and convictions. "Never give in except to convictions of honor and good sense." Change has a snowballing ef fect.

Value Remain Naturally, some changes occur, minor changes. But the baile values remain if the person is to remain honest with himself. Idealized conceptions of mod ern "glamor," idolization of fic tionalized heros, blind us, creat ing false impressions. Life is hardly like this. Reality is not made of these things. Life, unfortunately, does not level off to a plateau of "and so they lived happily ever after." What ought to be Is not. What exists must be accepted. Never change - unless, of course, you are willing to pay the necessary price written on the attached tag. And it in never on sale.
